Biden's national margin average is highest it's been since debates...

It's currently 12.6 - the highest he's been since 12.9 on 6/30:

He definitely took a hit after the first debate but it appears he's stabilized and may even be heading back up:

cause voters only have one goal is to get rid of trump, forget about policies or differences, it will be completely irrelevant in 2020. The only criterion that will matter during primary is who has the best chance to beat trump according to most recent data. If election is held today, Biden would easily win the primary in every state. But things may change dramatically in the next 6 months.

she asked the Democratic pundits on her show why it is that they dis Biden all the time but when she talks to people she knows, man on the street, they all love and want Biden to be the nominee.

Sort of nailed it for me. Watch TV and Biden is a loser (according to dems!) but my friends love and want him.

Glad to see he's doing so well.

She asked it almost sarcastically. Drives the point I've been saying home: These young wet behind the ears pundits don't know shit.

looking at that graphic, he is above the next challenger even after the debate low. They are desperate to make it "tighten." (One of their favorite words during elections).

Everyone wants to have an "anybody but the establishment" candidate (nevermind literally all of them are career politicians). But the three way split between Warren and Harris and Sanders will help us unify behind Biden pretty easily.

"Everyone wants to have an "anybody but the establishment" candidate (nevermind literally all of them are career politicians)."

...lost all meaning for me. It's nothing but a cheap, pot shot buzzword that some politicians get to evade for whatever reason while others don't.
